Data Overview
Source data:Limitless Play: completed tournaments /Tournament results API documentation. Usage and ranking reference:Limitless Play: decks.
The dataset covers 147 individual Standard tournaments with at least 16 participants, scheduled from September 1 through October 22, 2026 (Japan Standard Time), and confirmed as completed when the data was collected. Special-rule and team events are excluded. Public deck lists were checked, independently classified, and aggregated. The table covers 5,988 matches between the 10 featured decks, including both preliminary rounds and playoffs, with no placement or win-count filter.
As a general rule, a list is classified as the same deck if it contains at least one copy of every Pokémon in the featured list; additional Pokémon are allowed. Cards with identical gameplay characteristics are grouped together, regardless of copy counts, Trainer cards, or generated Energy types. The following three decks have specific criteria.
Mega Lucario ex: lists containing only these five Pokémon: Mega Lucario ex, Lucario, Bonsly, Riolu, and Hitmonlee. Different versions of Riolu are grouped together.
Mega Rayquaza ex: lists containing at least one copy each of Mega Rayquaza ex, Dragonair, Dratini, and Gouging Fire. Different versions of Dratini are grouped together.
Mega Charizard Y ex: lists containing at least one copy each of Mega Charizard Y ex and Entei ex.
Win rate = wins ÷ (wins + losses + draws). Each match counts once, whether it is BO1, BO3, or BO5. Records without an opponent, such as byes, and double losses are excluded. Mirror matches are included. The average win rate is the unweighted mean of the win rates against the 10 decks in the table.
